is it possible using CSS and HTML to embed a video, then blur the video, and then overlay an (transparent) image over the video. so in other words, restating this — you would have a sort of transparent image that you could see through to the underlying blurred video. I would like to create this effect for a landing page but I have no idea what’s involved in creating something like this.

i’m probably thinking about this wrong. Maybe I should’ve thought about it more before I posted the question. maybe first I should start with just getting the video blurred and on the page in a container or with flexbox. Yeah, let’s start there. that should be possible right?
